“I want to show videos on my digital signage network”. Very commonly said and seemingly a simple request. But like peeling away zombie skin, there are many subtle levels.

In many cases, the request to put a video on screen refers to streaming a television channel. It can be done but it is really necessary? Obviously streaming video from an unknown source limits your control over what appears on your network and more often than not, you probably have more than enough videos in your YouTube account. With MediaCast, simply upload your mpeg video, put those mpegs in the desired order you wish to have them play (or “create a playlist”), drag and drop your playlist on to the preview, and approve. Don’t look now, but you’re broadcasting your own network.

Ok, not enough? Still want to stream videos? MediaCast can deliver this as well (assuming it’s a source that allows you to do that).  With MediaTile’s premium media player, you can even get as sophisticated as delivering videos on demand using a touch screen.

And the top the mountain...live video calls on screen. MediaCast can also feature MediaTile’s Video Presence technology. Video Presence enables your screen viewer to generate an intelligently routed video call that connects to a remote video operator who is determined by what the screen viewer is looking at.  

MediaTile’s solution set boasts all the benefits of digital signage, as well as the ability to add the human element, live on screen.
